The state Elections Commission unanimously approved the Green Party for Wisconsin’s presidential ballot, perhaps complicating Joe Biden’s path to winning the state again.

Attorneys for GOP lawmakers and conservative voters demanded the state Supreme Court reject two consultants’ report that recommended ignoring their proposed maps for legislative districts and only considering plans submitted by Dems.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump were locked in a close race for president in the first Marquette University Law School Poll of Wisconsin voters in 2024, while Nikki Haley had a 16-point lead on the Dem president.

Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, said his caucus would consider passing Dem Gov. Tony Evers’ maps without any changes as the Capitol awaits a ruling from the state Supreme Court in a redistricting lawsuit.

Madison businessman Eric Hovde has begun to assemble his team for a likely U.S. Senate bid with a former RGA executive director and a veteran of Ron Johnson’s 2016 run expected to be part of the effort, according to multiple

When John F. Kennedy ran for president in 1960, he did something no candidate had done before: he leveraged the power of state primaries to win his party’s nomination. Kennedy’s first battleground state? Wisconsin—a state that would prove more arduous, more exhausting, and more crucial to winning the presidency than any other.

U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips, the Dem presidential candidate from Minnesota, insists he will remain in the race through at least Wisconsin’s primary in April after the Wisconsin Supreme Court Friday ordered his name appear on the ballot. “My mission is to demonstrate to the country there’s an alternative,” Phillips said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics.

The court ruled the Presidential Preference Selection Committee abused its discretion in refusing to include Phillips on the ballot alongside President Joe Biden.

On this week’s episode of WisconsinEye’s “Rewind,” WisPolitics’s JR Ross and CBS 58’s Emilee Fannon discuss the latest in the redistricting case before the state Supreme Court, Minnesota U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips’ lawsuit to be included on the Dem presidential primary ballot in Wisconsin, Gov. Tony Evers signing legislation intended to increase dental care access and more.

The state Supreme Court instructed the Elections Commission to hold off telling clerks which candidates should be on the April 2 presidential primary ballot as they weigh Dean Phillips’ lawsuit seeking to have his name included.

The consultants didn’t include a recommendation of which Dem proposal they thought was superior.

Baldwin still doesn’t have a high-profile GOP opponent with businessmen Eric Hovde and Scott Mayer weighing runs. Multiple Republican sources have indicated for weeks that they expect Hovde to officially get into the race this month, and national Republicans have signaled they will back him if he does.

The League of Women Voters filed its appeal with the liberal 1st District just ahead of GOP legislators going to the conservative 2nd District, based in Waukesha.

The state Department of Justice is arguing Dean Phillips’ effort to force his way onto Wisconsin’s Dem presidential primary ballot should be rejected because the Minnesota congressman waited too long to file his lawsuit.

Van Orden reported $582,254 in receipts, $400,256 spent and $1.6 million in the bank on his year-end report. He also listed $69,034 in debts.

Gov. Tony Evers at a WisPolitics luncheon Tuesday said while he supports Iowa-styled redistricting, he has concerns a GOP proposal to implement the practice in Wisconsin wouldn’t guarantee a nonpartisan process.
